The key take-aways (so you don't feel obliged to click the link)
* it'll be more like the Boeing 787-8 (and A380, and early A350-900) business class seat, aka Collins Super Diamond,
but...
* AAB revealed the design “will be similar to the Super Diamond, but it will not be by Collins"
* also, the 787-9 fleet is intended to replace most of the 787-8s “which we will lease to other airlines" (fingers crossed for BA!)
* the rest of what we knew about this 'Dreamliner Qsuite' – lighter weight, lower walls, double bed but no quads – appears to still apply

djsflynn,
Well done with the QR scoops the past few days, and you managed to get a lot more clarity from Mr. Al-Baker regarding the fleet plans compared to recent coverage in other media.
